Current Circuits

Hello today in physic we are making circuit on this  kit.

Parallel Circuit

-------------------------

Battery-A battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrical cells. It helped power the wires to light up the bulb.

Wire- The wires curry the electrical cells to light light bulb to light it up. 

Bulb- The bulbs lights up and shines when it gets power

In Parallel, components are on different branches/paths.

Series circuit

-------------------

In Series Circuit all components (parts) of a circuit are in a loop.

Two light bulbs

Reflection

Commitment- I have committed to my physics class doing all my work and getting it done on time. 

Achievement- I feel that I achieved the English class very well.  

Resilience- I feel I was able to do this in my Wananga class. 

Respect- I was able to respect all my teachers in all my classes.

Arts Kete- My arts kete is going well we are doing preformace and I'm doing music and lighting and working on helping the groups. Other than that im not doing much but its a really fun arts kete. 

I worked okay with a few relievers but sometimes I wasn't my best and had problems in the class but most of them I was pretty good with most of the relievers. I could have done pretty then I was but I choose not to and I didn't turn it around witch I should have.

My goal next week is to work on getting my work done faster and if we have relievers to be a good student and not course trouble that also goes to my normal teachers and actually listen to my teacher instead of not listening.

The Cay

 I re-made a book cover of the cay in my own style and how I would see the cay. I think that this cover fits the story of the book more because the first cover looks happy and colourful though the story line is glumly and sad.

My cover.

Tongan Language Week

 Hello everyone for the past week we have been working on Tongan language week. My teacher gave us some slide with things to do on them we had to get as much done as we could with the days we had during the week. I learnt a lot of new things from this and a lot of new Tongan things like the coat of arms.

Ch 12-13 Qs

Phillip and Timothy have been on the cay for 48 days the kept track of this by using stone and putting one in a can everyday. Phillip covered Timothy and put a wet cloth on his head to keep him cool and same with the shade cover. Phillip started to climb the tree then he stopped like half way then Timothy said something to help him keep going and he also didn't wanna let Timothy down. Timothy is teaching Phillip these skill so in case Timothy dies Phillip can take care of himself. Phillip grew up thinking all black men were bad people so he was kinda a racist but he ask Timothy "are you still black"? because Timothy was helping him and being nice to him.   

 

1. How many days have Phillip and Timothy been on the cay?  

2. What does Phillip do to help Timothy when he is sick? 

3. Explain why Phillip is ready to climb the coconut tree. 

4. Why do you think Timothy is trying to teach Phillip these survival skills?

5. What do you think Phillip means by his comment, “are you still Black”?

Cow Eye Dissection.

On Wednesday period 3 we did an eye dissection on a cow eye my teacher showed us a video on how to do the dissection. Before this we have been learning about the different parts of they eye and what they do. After the video we go given a tray, scissors and a pair of tweezers to work with the eye.

The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye that The cornea helps your eye to focus light so you can see clearly, The pupil of the eye is a portal which admits and regulates the flow of light to the retina, The iris helps control the size of the pupil to let more or less light into the eye,  lens is an important part of the eye's anatomy that allows the eye to focus on objects at varying distances. The retina contains millions of light-sensitive cells (rods and cones) and other nerve cells that receive and organise visual information. Your retina sends this information to your brain,  the clear, watery fluid between the cornea and the front of the vitreous. The aqueous humour bathes and nourishes the lens and maintains pressure within the eye the humour is also the middle of the eye but its not on the diagram. optic nerve It transmits sensory information for vision in the form of electrical impulses from the eye to the brain.

We had to cut off the fat from the eye then pierce into the eye to cut is open and then we had a look on the inside of the eye to see all the different parts of the eye. I didn't enjoy it the dissection was very gross and there was a risk on some gross liquid squirting out of it the person who I was working with couldn't pierce through they eye so it was really gross. I did really find anything inserting about the dissection. I didn't really expect it to be a bluey white.
